{life won't ever slow me down}

Life won't ever slow me down....Parker's six word memoir.  We were sitting around the dinner table when Parker started to share this piece of school work with the family. I was just about to ask him what it meant, when he said his teacher asked him what it meant. Parker said, "I play sports and there are times when you come off a lose or had a bad game and people may think you won't be able to come back.  But you have to keep going and not let adversity slow you down. I want to show them wrong." I think I said, "WOW." I wasn't expecting such a well thought out explanation. I thought I might get the life is hard sometimes but you gotta keep chugging response. I have to say I was kinda impressed with his desire to succeed.

On that note....congrats Parker for completing your elementary years at PEC! We were surprised and happy when your name was called to receive the Presidential Academic Award. That meant you have had straight A's since 4ht grade! There were only 9 kids out of your class of 52 to get that award.  So what words of wisdom do I have...hmm? Don't just keep chugging P-man...you keep showing them! lol - xo, mom

Parker hugging a friend...notice her arm. She didn't have a t-shirt to sign since she is a fith grader so he signed her arm!

Good friend Mayde.  She is my fellow Free People fan :)
